Answer:
L = P/2 - W

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 - Start by factoring out the two

P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(L + W)

Step 2 - Divide both sides of the equation by two

P = 2(L + W)
P/ 2 = 2(L + W)/ 2
P/ 2 = L + W

Step 3 - Subtract W from both sides of the equation

P/ 2 = L + W
P/ 2 - W = L + W - W
P/ 2 - W = L
